Welcome to the Wild West in the East
We crossed into Burma for a day trip to renew our Thai visas and spent the day wandering through the dusty little border town of Myawadi. It kinda reminds us of set from M*A*S*H* when they would show 1950's small village Korea. It was a bit timeless with the bicycle rickshaws, no cars, no pavement, sweltering heat, traditional Karen clothing, women carrying all manner of sale objects on their heads.
One pic that escaped us was a striking young girl with a dark complexion and the white Burmese make-up on her cheeks wearing a brightly patterned skirt and carrying a platter of sliced ripe red watermelon on her head. The most refreshing watermelon I never had.
March announcements:

Best Wishes to New Orleans on Mardi Gras and Happy Lent to all you sinners!
